Horse Remos

Jacky | Horse

When the desire to do good becomes completely overwhelming at some point, we are asked for help. This was the case with the pony gelding Jacky. He was due to be slaughtered, but animal lovers were able to prevent this! They also helped other animals until the financial burden became too great. There was hardly…

El Diego | Horse

The two Freiberger foals Diego and Fernando were destined for the slaughterhouse. They did not correspond to the breeding ideal and were classified by us humans as second-class. This classification is otherwise known from porcelain, for example. But if Fernando and Diego could understand us, how could we explain this to them? You have to…

Shirina | Horse

Very often we report on breeders and farmers who do not keep their animals well. But there is also the opposite - breeders who are aware of their responsibility and who try to find good places for their animals. One of these people contacted Aiderbichler animal rescuer Christian Kögl and told him about his problem…

Mandy | Horse

Pony Mandy was almost 13 years old when she became an Aiderbichler. The owner had asked the animal emergency center if we could take Mandy in. The story took a strange turn ... In the end, it turned out that the lady was known to the veterinary office and had also received various reports because…

Rubin | Horse

Rubin's owners turned their backs on him. Apparently he was not good enough and did not meet their expectations. So he found himself at a horse dealer - still splendidly plaited and decorated. It was obvious that he would not be coming home from a tournament. He had already been registered for transport to slaughter.…

Schula | Horse

As part of the cooperation entered into with the Swiss Sandgrueb Foundation (Egg near Zurich) in 2019, Gut Aiderbichl assumed responsibility for the lifelong care of a healthy group of 15 Arabian mares. The Sandgrueb Foundation had taken over the stock of an Arabian horse breeder a few years earlier because she had reached her…

Michi von Rhein | Horse

The fact that Michi von Rhein can live happily with us at Gut Aiderbichl today, even if she is sometimes plagued by jealousy, cannot be taken for granted. In October 2007, she was already on a transport to Belgium for slaughter. Animal rights activists became aware of the transport and were able to stop it.…

Vaiana | Horse

Vaiana and many other animals were found in devastating circumstances. The animals had to eke out an existence among their dead conspecifics and had little hope of surviving this ordeal themselves. The authorities ultimately ordered the animals to be confiscated and brought to safety for the time being. The Austrian daily newspaper "Krone" reported on…

Gentile | Horse

When Gentile arrived, we immediately admired his beauty. He stood proudly and magnificently at Gut Aiderbichl Henndorf and was admired by our guests. His owners told us that they had bought Gentile three years ago. He was hoping to shine in dressage. But it soon became clear that Gentile was not going to become a…

Pan-Zahra | Horse

"You can call me Freddi," a desperate man opened the conversation with Michael Aufhauser. But the situation was by no means as relaxed as this sentence sounded. Shortly before, the man had stormed a government office, shot a man four times in the stomach and locked himself in an office with a hostage. This desperate…

Allegro | Horse

Breeding always means selection. Every year, countless foals that do not meet the "breeding ideals" experience this. Only a few months old, they then embark on their final journey to one of the notorious slaughterhouses in southern or eastern Europe. Allegro was also threatened with this fate. He was already in a dealer's stable when…

El Farin | Horse

El Farin stood for years in an open stable next to Gut Aiderbichl in Iffeldorf. His friend Joe became an Aiderbichler a few years ago. Now El Farin was left alone when the second horse died. The animal keepers at Gut Aiderbichl in Iffeldorf wanted to help and El Farin moved into the horse stable…
